Good Enough PDF -A compassionate, intelligent, and wry series of Christian daily reflections on learning to live with imperfection in a culture of self-help that promotes endless progress, from the New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason and the executive producer of the Everything Happens podcast
“Brilliant, hilarious, absurd, honest, hopeful, true-hearted, and good to the core.”—Sarah Bessey, editor of A Rhythm of Prayer and author of Jesus Feminist
In Kate Bowler’s bestselling memoir Everything Happens for a Reason, readers witnessed the ways she, as a divinity-school professor and young mother, reckoned with a Stage IV cancer diagnosis; in her follow-up memoir, No Cure for Being Human, she unflinchingly and winsomely unpacked the ways that life becomes both hard and beautiful when we abandon certainty and the illusion of control in our lives. Now, in their first-ever devotional book, Kate Bowler and co-author Jessica Richie offer 40ish short spiritual reflections on how we can make sense of life not as a pursuit of endless progress but as a chronic condition. This book is a companion for when you want to stop feeling guilty that you’re not living your best life now.
Written gently and with humor, Good Enough is permission for all those who need to hear that there are some things you can fix—and some things you can’t. And it’s okay that life isn’t always better. In these gorgeously written reflections, Bowler and Richie offer fresh imagination for how truth, beauty, and meaning can be discovered amid the chaos of life. Their words celebrate kindness, honesty, and interdependence in a culture that rewards ruthless individualism and blind optimism. Ultimately, in these pages we can rest in the encouragement to strive for what is possible today—while recognizing that though we are finite, the life in front of us can be beautiful.

Lisa notes… “I already know I like Kate Bowler’s writings from reading her previous books. This one is no exception. Kate helps us all feel better. This book is a joyful accounting of short anecdotes reminding us it’s okay to not be okay all the time.
I like the format of this book for the 40ish chapters:
* a devotional,
* followed by a blessing,
* ending with “A Good Enough Step” to put into practice, such as,
“Plan a funeral for something you are grieving—an imagined future or the death of what could have been. Set aside a time and a place for your grief to be named and expressed.”
The only thing I don’t like about the book is it has a co-author. It doesn’t affect the quality of the book’s content—Jessica Richie is an excellent writer too—but it makes it harder to follow who is talking. It also feels clunky switching back and forth: “I (Jessica)…” or “I (Kate)…”.
With only that caveat, a few favorite lines from the book are:
“Your illness or grief or despair or addiction is not too much. It’s just your humanity showing. And blessed are we who get to see it up close.”
“Pain should unite us, as fellow sufferers, as fellow humans. Regardless of who feels worse, we need each other.”
“The structure of a good day is simply this: your biggest loves find their way in. God. Friends. Meaning. Family.”
“We are not the bad thing. We are simply living our beautiful, terrible days.”
As with the other Kate Bowler books, this one is also encouraging, authentic, and meaningful.
My thanks to NetGalley + Convergent Books for the review copy of this book.”
